Juliette Binoche In Schiaparelli At 7th Hainan Island Film Festival
Luxferity, 10.12.2025
On the opening nights of the 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival (HIIFF), global cinema icon Juliette Binoche graced the red carpet wearing a long ecru cape dress from Schiaparelli Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2025/26, as imagined by Creative Director Daniel Roseberry. The cape, with its ankle‑grazing hem, fluid gathers and delicate embroidery at the neckline, was a subtle yet commanding statement — an embodiment of refined luxury and timeless elegance on one of the film world’s rising global stages.
“Juliette Binoche’s presence in Schiaparelli at Hainan transforms the festival carpet into a new vocabulary of haute glamour,” writes Luxferity.

The choice of Schiaparelli is hardly surprising. Under Roseberry’s helm, the maison has resurrected a vision of contemporary luxury that balances heritage artistry with avant‑garde sensibility. Just months ago, Asian star Xin Zhilei stunned at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival in a Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2025/26 creation — a brown off‑shoulder jersey dress paired with a trompe‑l’oeil tulle bodysuit, hand‑painted with a rose motif.

By aligning couture-level sophistication with the silver-screen aura of Binoche, this moment at HIIFF becomes more than fashion: it becomes a statement on global cultural exchange, cinematic grace, and timeless style.
The Significance of Hainan — Cinema Meets Couture
The 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival launched on December 3, 2025, in Sanya — positioning itself as the cinematic “year‑end finale” of the global festival circuit.
As the world’s film elite gather for screenings, awards, and cross‑cultural dialogues, HIIFF offers a unique platform: East meets West, artistry meets commerce, and film meets fashion. In this context, Binoche’s appearance in Schiaparelli is more than red‑carpet dressing — it’s a bridge between European cinematic gravitas and Asia’s growing film influence.

Why This Look Matters
- Timeless elegance over flash — The ecru cape dress rejects overly ornate theatrics; instead, it relies on cut, silhouette, and embroidery for impact. In doing so, it channels a refined minimalism that resonates with modern luxury sensibilities.
- Couture values, globally visible — Schiaparelli’s knit of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design finds fertile ground at international festivals; the brand’s red‑carpet presence continues to redefine luxury dressing for film icons.
- Symbol of cross‑cultural glamour — As Hainan draws filmmakers and stars from across the globe, the union of a French acting legend and an Italian couture house, represented before a Chinese audience, underscores the truly global nature of contemporary glamour.

Beyond the Cape: The Broader Schiaparelli Movement
Under Roseberry, Schiaparelli has become a go-to for actors who wish to make a statement beyond costume: a statement about identity, sophistication, and artistry. From Xin Zhilei’s evocative moment in Venice this autumn (full story) to the recent spotlight on supermodels and stars at Cannes and other international events, Schiaparelli’s resurgence is inseparable from the resurgence of elevated, intelligent luxury.
With Binoche’s appearance at HIIFF, the maison has added another indelible vignette to its evolving legacy — one that confirms its power to speak to a worldwide audience that values craft, elegance, and quiet but unshakable glamour.
